In this context, the thread which forms the basis of this doodle is the Divine union of Lord Shiva and Devi Parvati which resulted in the creation of the entire universe as we see around us… The various animals, birds, tree and lotus flowers included represent the nature around us along with the Divine mounts of Shiva and Devi ..read more

Inktober posts continue here. You can read the other posts on Inktober here and here. Inktober prompt 8– star: Rohini may be just a #star among the countless and millions of them abounding in the firmament..
